My desk at work is pretty empty. Since I'm only staying here for three months, there really is no reason to make it feel like "home". The sad thing is that the one thing I did bring from home, besides my water bottle, is a bottle of painkillers.

I think I've come to rely on painkillers too much. I'm not addicted to it; I don't need to eat it everyday. However, whenever I have a headache or any other kind of pain that bugs me, I tend to take one. Probably not a good idea and I should just deal with the pain since my pain tolerance isn't that low, but I just don't see why bother when I can get rid of the pain by taking a pill.

Eh. Main reason I brought the bottle was because of the lump on my leg that was really, ridiculously painful, so I think that was justified. But after that pain's gone, the bottle's still here. Meh.

Speaking of lump on leg, doctor tonight to get minor surgery done and remove the lump that is the cause of this repeated infection and swelling. Kind of scared, never had any kind of surgery - minor or major - before; at least none that I can remember. Phooey. Hope all goes well and FAST. It's Friday (FINALLY), and I want to be able to enjoy it not at a hospital clinic. Har har har? Sigh.

[UPDATE] Well, surgery's over. It was fast and painless in the beginning w/ the anesthetic, but I think it wore out a bit too fast because towards the end when the doc was stitching me up, I could feel pain pricks. Ouchie. And the pain just gets worse with the wearing off of the anesthetics. Like now. OWWWWW. :( So the best position for me is to be belly down on my bed ... sigh. Might not have stayed too long at the hospital clinic, but now I get to enjoy my weekend in pain. YES! I'm am so excited! [/sarcasm] But anyway, I've experienced more pain with this infection than ever in my life. I exaggerate, probably, but things always hurts less with the passing of time. :( Hope the pain disappears by Monday; can't imagine sitting on a chair all day long.

Oh, and leaving my painkillers at work was a TERRIBLE idea ... What am I to eat now since Mr. Doc didn't give me any prescription strength painkillers? Woe. And my panadol has expired. Must go painkiller shopping tomorrow!
